Squaresoft to develop FFX spin-offs

Source - Gameforms

Squaresoft has announced a couple of PlayStation 2 games based on
Final Fantasy X, to be released within this fiscal year in Japan.
Sceptics have cited growing financial pressure on the company as
the reason for these uncharacteristic spin-offs, which will expand
on the stories of Yuna and Rikku from Final Fantasy X, within the
same game engine and world.
Depending on what sort of a job the former FFX development team
does with these, we can either expect further financial problems
for the Japanese RPG giant, or a couple of enjoyable companions to
help the time pass before the next single player Final Fantasy, XII
appears.
Squaresoft's financial report also highlighted changes in the
structure of the developer, aimed at reducing costs, with
developers moved into divisions rather than freeform teams.
